North Arlington Jewish Cemetery, Jewish cemetery in North Arlington, United States.
North Arlington Jewish Cemetery is a four-acre triangular property situated between an industrial park and Arlington Memorial Park along Belleville Turnpike. The site contains over 3,000 documented memorials that have been photographed and catalogued for genealogical research purposes.
Founded in 1900 by the North Arlington Cemetery Association, the cemetery developed to serve multiple Jewish congregations across New Jersey. Over time, various synagogues and societies acquired and maintained their own dedicated sections within the grounds.
The grounds are divided into sections that reflect different Jewish religious traditions, from Reform to Orthodox communities. This spatial arrangement shows how various congregations maintained their separate identities while sharing the same sacred space.
The cemetery is located at 512 Belleville Turnpike and is accessible by car or on foot. The triangular layout of the grounds may affect how you navigate and explore the different sections.
One section managed by Hudson County operates as a potter's field reserved specifically for Jewish war veterans. This area honors service members who might otherwise have lacked proper burial recognition.
